BUMP IS CALGARY'S STREET ART FESTIVALStarted in 2017 as the Beltline Urban Murals Project, the community-led, artist-focused BUMP Festival has exploded to become a city-wide street art movement reimagining public spaces through the visual arts and expanding the capacity of the local arts community. A diverse jury selects from among local, national and international artists for the BUMP Festival’s annual exhibition of new mural, Road Works and graffiti works in Calgary.We believe that public art can enrich communities, create beautiful and captivating places, provoke conversation and add beauty to the everyday. To date, the BUMP Festival has transformed Calgary with over 300 public art installations capturing the imagination of residents and visitors in a celebration of the arts and community.
